Time magazine report Jan. 18, 2018: "In California, which has been particularly hard hit by this season’s flu, several hospitals have set up large ‘surge tents’ outside their emergency departments to accommodate and treat flu patients.

So why is the media so bent on making Sweden look bad when they are doing far better than California, the US, and many other countries in the last month?
